Runner Docket – Toggle to print a Runner Docket when the Order is “Done”. If you want the Runner Docket to print automatically when the order is done, you must define this for each POS Terminal in Kitchen Monitor. In Setup > POS Terminals, add or modify an item and set the code to the POS Terminal number, and the set Order Printing > Print on Done to True. More information is available in the IKM Setup Menu > POS Terminals > Order Printing section.
Runner Docket POS Terminal – When a Runner Docket is printed (by pressing Print or Done), it goes back to the original terminal that sent the order and printing is done from that terminal. As some sites use tablets to take orders, and the tablet may be offline, out of range, or out of power, this would allow the POS Terminal number for printing runner dockets to be selected from IKM. The runner docket will print if the terminal which sent the order is turned off or offline. Enter the POS terminal number the runner docket should be printed from in this case.
Close Password – Enter a password that must be used when exiting IKM.
Network Port – Set as default to 5510 to work consistently with Idealpos. Changes to this port can be made if required to by the Network Administrator.
